Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Who Has a Question?_1

Live broadcast across the web? A press conference!

The journalists who arrived were stunned; some were utterly baffled.

Who could have imagined such a twist in this project?

Now, how could they possibly distort and manipulate the narrative? The full live-stream video was on the internet; any attempt to twist the facts or stir up emotions was impossible!

If they dared to fabricate or act recklessly, it would be at their own discomfort!

The journalists couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Most of them were there under the banner of their respective media outlets, privately hired by Zhuang Boyi for a tidy sum of personal gain.

If their fabrications resulted in readers bombarding their companies with complaints, their bosses would surely have their heads.

Many started to feel uneasy.

In this era of information explosion and universal media, the media’s once proud control over public discourse was facing an unprecedented challenge!

Zhuang Boyi’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Bai Xiaosheng.

He could never have anticipated that Bai Xiaosheng would use these few minutes to pull off such a feat—it was even more powerful than having some leader show up. He had to admit defeat!

”I really didn’t expect Old Bai to have such a move up his sleeve. Brilliant!”

Song exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with admiration, ”Since it’s going public, let’s go all the way! Turn what was meant to be media witnessing into a web-wide broadcast! In such an open and fair environment, even those who want to misinterpret won’t be able to! Amazing, I didn’t see that coming!”

Song couldn’t stop marveling.

Yezi was practically jumping for joy, waving her hands, her eyes alight with excitement and admiration.

”Brother Bai is simply awesome. Dream on if you think you can take advantage of him!”

”It’s not just that!”

Song, a high-caliber graduate in advertising, took a deep look at the media and sneered, ”They came to interrogate us, but Old Bai turned these people into a cheap resource, turning it into a media conference! Now, we’ve even saved on transportation and accommodation costs!”

”Haha!” Yezi beamed, ”This time, their attempt to steal chickens will result in losing rice!”

Their conversation made the people around them nod repeatedly.

Employees and supervisors on the project, who wouldn’t want the best for their own? Their expressions were excited as they discussed in low voices.

”Manager Bai, that was incredibly deft! I’m no match for that!”

”That’s why you only manage a department, while he, at his young age, is the head honcho!”

”Yeah, I’m convinced this time! Working with Manager Bai always brings surprises!”

”Now we have a bargain press conference, haha, look at their faces, all sour!”

The project team was buoyant, with murmurs of conversation.

This time, their admiration for Bai Xiaosheng, ”Devil Bai,” was boundless, and they felt a perverse sense of satisfaction—

See, you outsiders who have never experienced Devil Bai’s prowess, now you’ll get a taste!

”How could this happen! Bai Xiaosheng is indeed incredibly cunning!”

On the other side, Wang Ye’s brows furrowed in vexation as she grumbled angrily.

All the favorable factors, such a good setup, was about to be overturned!

Sun Xiangdong’s expression darkened, and he slammed his wine glass down on the table, ”Mrs. Wang, be patient! Although he has surprised us, overturning the situation won’t be that simple! After all, I’ve spent a lot of money to bring a formidable writer on board this time! I trust Zhuang Boyi’s abilities!”

Plotting and scheming, unlike a straightforward confrontation, required patience above all!

In this regard, Sun Xiangdong and Shang Wenshu were among the best; he could keep his cool.

Persuaded by his words, Wang Ye finally settled down to watch what would happen next.

In the large conference room.

Wang swiftly adjusted all the equipment and made an ”OK” gesture to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded, then looked around at the reporters from various media outlets before facing the camera directly.

”Is it an accident, unpaid wages, or something more sinister? Now, the big reveal at Teles Square! Please allow me to briefly introduce our media guests present here,” Bai Xiaosheng read out the business cards he had collected from the media earlier.

Manager Bai is so talented!

The people on the project team could barely resist applauding.

The reporter who had asked the earliest questions wanted to interrupt Bai Xiaosheng.

Wang decisively turned a camera towards him, and a flicker of alarm passed through the reporter’s eyes. He quickly shrank back and sat down properly.

Zhuang Boyi saw this, his breath hitching, and he exhaled forcefully, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with a cold gaze.

”You may have pulled a clever trick, but in a moment, I’ll make sure you lose face in front of the entire internet and blow this whole thing out of proportion!”

As a reporter for so many years, Zhuang Boyi made his living with his pen. The countless interviews he had conducted over the years had made him adept at setting traps, laying baits, and coaxing genuine emotions, even tears, from his subjects.

He was confident in his abilities.

”This live broadcast is witnessed by several renowned media outlets. It’s a response to some recent false news about Tiannan’s most famous landmark project—Teles Square. Please stay tuned!” Bai Xiaosheng, though he had never done a live broadcast before, spoke as if he were quite experienced.

Online, this live broadcast quickly garnered attention.

The live chat was activated.

”Teles Square? That project sounds so familiar!”

”It’s said to be a high-end shopping center, something like a landmark building...”

”What happened there?”

”There are rumors of a construction accident and unpaid wages.”

”No way, my friend works there, and they are very formal; it shouldn’t be like that...”

Countless discussions ensued.

All at once, the number of viewers began to skyrocket.

”Quick, let’s also tune into this live broadcast and spread the word!” an astute supervisor on the project suggested.

”Yes, yes, have everyone stop what they’re doing and pay attention!” another supervisor urged urgently.

This time, they did not want Bai Xiaosheng to fight alone.

They were a team, and the glory or damage to the project affected everyone!

So, full force ahead!

At the very least, they would cheer and root for Manager Bai!

The supervisors quickly issued orders, and the staff of the project swarmed to action—this time, even the cleaning ladies picked up their phones!

”Someone is giving our project a hard time, and Manager Bai is fighting on the live broadcast. We need to cheer him on!”

”I’ll call my friends to join!”

”I’ll have my daughter bring some people to help!”

Suddenly, the entire project sprang into action—it was probably even beyond Bai Xiaosheng’s expectations—this unity was unprecedented, comparable to the scene in the TV drama where ”Li Yunlong attacks Ping’an County.”

In the large conference room, Bai Xiaosheng briefly introduced the project to the netizens and then, with a smile, asked the reporters present, ”Who has a question?”

”I do!”

The person who had first spoken out couldn’t contain himself any longer and rushed to stand up.

”Let’s start with you, then,” Bai Xiaosheng gestured invitingly.

Come on, come get taken down a peg, Bai Xiaosheng thought, his smile concealing a hint of coldness in his eyes.
